Why does no one here give detailed trading advice?

I must admit that I have only been looking at the Trading forum. On most of the threads there is a lot of fighting and very little Technical analysis. That ETFtraderlives fellow is out there. I will be looking at other forums over the week-end.

I really have never been to this forum before, I am known on other forums as Apsll. I am just verifing claims made by ex members of chaos over here. I will try to be less offensive in my study of this site as it is not complete. Bellow is my latest video and I will share some charts latter.

It's very rare that something worth having is just given away.

only read the first page so far; but as fight and the swordsman pointed out, truly succeeding can only be done as they posted. maybe it can be taught which direction to go ; but making money for years on end takes hard work and clearly some brains. no short cut and i am not saying anything new either, i know.

I've been lurking for a while, and have noticed that none of the supposed successful traders here give any detailed advice on how to trade successfully. Occasionally some people will give vague hints, but that's useless for neophytes who need more specific instructions. One has to wonder if anyone here really is successful.

It's interesting to compare this site with sites that are devoted to getting women (as money and women are the 2 things that men want the most). Do a google search for "fast seduction" or "speed seduction" and you will find plenty of sites devoted to getting women. Many of these sites have extremely detailed instructions on how to get women. They tell you how to handle various situations, and even tell you exactly what words to say to a woman, and how and when you should engage in physical contact. They spell out a lot of what you need to say and do to get a woman. There are message boards too where people post about how they approached a woman and what they said and did. It's all a very supportive environment, as guys all try to help each other become more successful getting women.

But then on this site, it seems like the supposed successful traders just post smug and condescending comments towards the novices. Occasionally they might say something vague and pass it off as advice, but they don't offer anything specific that would actually be helpful. No wonder so many people say this site is just for entertainment purposes, no one is willing to share their knowledge to help other people learn.

If guys are willing to give specific and detailed instructions on how to pick up women, then why aren't they willing to do the same when it comes to trading? Guys probably want women a little more than they want money (and one of the reasons guys want money is because they think it will help them get women, but the opposite isn't true), so it seems like if they are willing to share their knowledge on how to pick up women, then they should also be willing to share their knowledge on trading. Is anyone here really a successful trader?

They do.

Check out the Journal section. Lots of detailed instructions there.

You say, 'too detailed'.

Welcome to trading.

Its simple but nuanced.
 
good question.

if one has developed ideas, systems, strategies that are making money while maintaining a good risk profile, that is very valuable information. If one has the ability to continually generate and execute on such ideas, such a person has a potential expected or actual income in the 7, 8, or more figure range.

If one has succeeded in doing this, it has been done by overcoming obstacles and by engaging in a great deal of independent thought. One naturally has pride in accomplishments, and cringes at the thought of giving them away for free. If one not only has ideas, but has the balls and means to execute, then one really has no need to validate oneself to others. ONe is justified by profits and by the ability to succeed, and that is all that is needed.

The question real question is: why do so many expect others to give away valuable, hard won information worth a 7, 8, or more figure income away for free? its not that easy.
